MFSL issues...

Gary Georgi believed that EQ was just fine. The highs are dramatically boosted on most of the reissues that he supervised, often the bass was also tampered with to horrifying effect, just listen to AJA for instance. Interestingly, the first batch was very true to the original LPs, try the Poco or John Klemmer realeases to hear just how good the sound can be. Unfortunately, the music isn't really the best. Was it Doug Sax that mastered this first group? I can't remember any more.

I have several MFSL releases. My ears must be deceiving me. I thought I was listening to some of the sweetest sounding music I'd ever heard. The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Frank Sinatra all performed in my living room last night. I didn't realize they brought Gary Georgi or Doug Sax with them. Now that I know I'm not sure that I really care. In an age where 2 channel recordings are being sliced and diced to fit nicely into 5.1 channels I see no problem with somebody using todays technology to make yesterdays recordings more listenable. I'm the biggest Zeppelin fan on the planet and I've yet to hear a better then mediocre recording of their music. Including the new Classic releases. I'm guessing the reason is the original studio recordings were sub-par. If MFSL could work their magic and bring these songs to life...the way they were meant to be heard...well send them to me if you don't want them.

ANy truth to ZEP going SACD?
